Pure Harmony Massage Studio

It's that time of year again, back to school, different routine, lots of change.

At Pure Harmony we use Doterra Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils with each of our sessions.

One of our favorites for this time of year is Bergamot.

Bergamot is the most delicate of the citrus plants, requiring special climate and soil in order to thrive.

Italians have used Bergamot for years to reduce feelings of stress and to soothe and rejuvenate skin.

In Greece, the unripe fruits are used as sweets, eaten by the spoonful as a dessert or with coffee.

Bergamot is unique among citrus oils because of its ability to be both uplifting and calming, making it ideal to help with anxious and sad feelings.

It is also purifying and cleansing for the skin while having a calming effect.

After your massage, take home a bottle and use it at home.

Here are some great ways I use Bergamot this time of year:

Diffuse in the classroom, at work, or at home when stress levels or tension is high

Apply to the skin while showering and inhale deeply to experience its calming aroma while enjoying its purifying skin benefits

Change regular tea to Earl Grey with the addition of Bergamot.

Apply to the feet before bedtime or use with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil for a calming and relaxing massage

Add one to two drops to your DIY skin care cleanser.

If you're diffusing Bergamot, use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.

For internal use, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.

Topically, apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.

*CAUTION*Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Avoid sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.
